四、讀寫任務 參考范文

The passage tells us the roots of animal sports from which we can learn that bulls, horses, roosters and dogs and some other animals were tortured or are still being tortured in these bloody sports games.

This reminds me of a friend who enjoys animal sports. In his opinion the animals are doing what they do naturally. Horses love to run, cocks naturally fight with each other in the yard. He argues that the animals are well cared for because their welfare is decisive to the success of the sport and the people involved.

In my personal point of view, Im strongly against animals in sports. I think animal sports are not sports at all, but performances forced out of animals that have no choice in the matter.

Animal sports should be banned because there are some general problems with animal sports such as mistreatment during training and the off-season, lack of medical care and the ways in which unwanted sports animals are destroyed, which are all inhumane terror acts.

五、讀寫任務(One possible version)

As is mentioned above, the 17- year-old boy played online games for hours and hours on end; such a computer addiction worsened his school education and even affected his other interests and talents, even his normal life.

I am shocked he couldnt limit the time on games - it really is an addiction. Many children are addicted to games, which distract them from study and normal life, and even result in mental problems. To extreme extent, sudden death of some children after playing games for several days and nights has been reported.

Well, I have a friend addicted to games online. His life is much ruined by his addiction. He no longer attends classes because he cant leave games. He even used his tuition fee to pay for games.

However, computer games are created to test the hand-eye coordination of a player. I suggest games be created to educate whoever is using the computer. Anyone who focuses more time on games will fail punctually but continue to enhance his multi-intelligence.
